Summary: Everyone knows that 'L' is the greatest detective known- which is why he is called on to solve another mass murder. The death of an entire clan, numbering well over a hundred people, were killed in one night, with only three survivors. Two of the survivor's locations are unknown- the third, is a boy named Uchiha Sasuke. Not only is L dealing with an another case that could possibly lead to 'Kira', but now, he is held back by an eight-year-old boy who's just beginning to learn the grief of being an orphan.
A/N: One of my friends decided to give me a challenge- my task is to write a Death Note/Naruto crossover. I was searching for a good DN/Naruto fiction for inspiration, but then I decided to not read any at all, so maybe I could be original. But who knows, there might be a million fictions out there like this. But reading the summaries, I saw not one that really resembled this plot...I don't know. But once again, we have a mourning chibi Sasuke in my fiction- this is my first time writing any of the Death Note characters. L/Ryuga/Ryuzaki and Sasuke are the main characters- no LXSasuke pairing!
L thoughtfully slid his forefinger between his chapped lips, digging his teeth into the nail with a sharp clicking sound. His questioning tone had not been because he was unaware that there was even a city in existence by the name of Konoha; neither was it because he was surprised that some inexcusable crime had been committed in that small, peaceful area.
It was because of the fact that every inch of the young man was deeply hoping that there would not be another widespread bout of deaths, all carried out by a silent person who seemed to have no guilt at all thrown to his shoulders as he murdered without second thought hundreds of human beings- Kira, the wordless, faceless killer.
"Yes, Ryuzaki-san," came the worried reply, "an entire family killed- not just a family of five- I should say clan! There were nearly one hundred and fifty people killed," Matsuda's expressive face was now clouded by anxiousness, not for himself, and what he could find himself faced with as part of L's team, but rather, for all the innocent lives that had been taken on someone's sadistic whim.
L listened attentively, continuing to chew on his fingernails as the extremity of the situation sank in. His panda-like eyes, rimmed by dark bags that could have been mistaken for bruises, slowly blinked as his intelligent mind began to list every possible motive for such a mass murder- which could and most certainly would be difficult. He would have to collect as much information as possible from his acquaintances before establishing a set idea.
"Matsuda-san?" he politely called the nervous man's attention to his question. "How were the victims put to death? Were there any survivors at all?" He hugged his knees to his chest, appearing very much like an abandoned child who was attempting to huddle in a corner for his protection.
"I was told from the chief that the investigation proved that every person had been killed by stab wounds. But how anyone could kill so many people in one evening with a knife is...hard to understand." Matsuda sheepishly lifted his hand to run his fingers through his dark hair, ruffling the short strands, as though he was embarrassed that he was unable to comprehend such a thing.
"And the survivors?" L made no further mention or inquiry about the cause of death, but Matsuda knew without doubt that the tired-looking detective was in a state of deep thought about the subject, merely asking other questions to add more certainty to his thinking.
"Well, what's strange is that only members of the Uchiha clan were massacred- no other ones were harmed. But as far as the clan goes, there seems to be three survivors, if we were researching the files correctly." He ticked the roles of each off on his fingers- "There was a teenager, around the age of thirteen or fourteen, who's disappeared without a trace at all. And an older gentleman, who has also been absent from the village of Konoha for several, several years- most everyone believes that he's dead. And the last one was a little child, only around eight years old- he was slightly injured, so he's in the hospital as of now."
"If the little one's injury was nothing serious, there must be another reason why he's in the hospital," L correctly deduced.
"You're right, as usual, Ryuzaki-san," Matsuda nodded. "All he had was a gash near his shoulder, but he had been found unconscious. I was told to go to the hospital and see if the boy was able to give us any information at all about the murderer, but he's either unbelievably distrusting, or he's truthfully drawn a complete blank. He told me that he couldn't remember anything that happened- he said that he was coming home from a student's meeting after school, and somebody that he apparently knew came behind him and rendered him unconscious- but you hear that story so often, it's become cliche." The man shrugged helplessly. "But anyone could have threatened him to keep quiet, even if he did know anything that could give us a lead on the killer. And if he was threatened by someone he knows, then it would be extremely hard to pry any information out of him."
"Hn...children can be difficult at times." L stared up at the white ceiling, as though he had forgotten that there was another being in the room. His ebony eyes traced the sphere-shaped globe of the light, the glow reflected in his round black orbs.
"Is there any chance that you could bring the boy here?" the detective wondered, extracting his finger from his mouth and absently reaching for a pen. Leaning over, holding the marker by its end, suspended by his nimble fingers- a precarious act of balancing- he non-too-quickly slashed several kanji characters over the smooth dark surface of the tabletop, not at all unsettled by marring his own furniture. Matsuda politely averted his gaze, not sure if he should read what L was writing with such vigor, or if he should attentively watch.
"Thank you very much for your report, Matsuda-san," L murmured distractedly, not yet finished scratching the kanji into the table. "If it's possible, though, I think that I may be able to retrieve information from the boy if someone could bring him here." His voice held no note of cockiness, only cold with fact. "Since he has met you already, it might be better for everyone if you brought him- this evening, if you could?" For the first time, he looked up, his expectant gaze delving into Matsuda's anxious glance.
"Um...I think I'd be able to. If I can get him to come with me- as I said, he wasn't very talkative, and he had absolutely no trust in me at all. But I think that he knew what I was after- it wasn't just a friendly visit, he was able to tell that I wanted something."
"Just tell him that Ryuzaki-san would like to see him," L said with an air of finality. "Thank you again for your kindness- I'll see you tonight, then." The brunet gave a short wave as Matsuda returned the gesture, nervously edging to the door and sliding out, closing it briskly behind him.
Matsuda-san was not thrilled, he noted, replacing the cap on his marker with a resonating snap. Tossing it carelessly, he stared down at what he had written as he listened to the writing utensil land with a soft clack against the floor.
Tokyo's Akai Candy- Chupa Chups, bag of twenty. Children are apparently fond of sweets.
Sasuke couldn't look up. Several sets of dark, narrow eyes were fixed on him in expectancy, every gaze radiating their unaccustomed feelings toward children. Although a select few of the investigators had children of their own, they were not about to lavish affection on an eight year old boy who may have been involved with the concealment of the murders- anyone could have bribed him to keep silent about anything he knew. The child could have been retaining a small piece of information which could hold any amount of revelation about the murderer.
"Your name is Uchiha Sasuke, is that correct?" L removed the Chupa Chup from his mouth with a quiet pop, the round, lemon-flavored sucker obstructing his words. "I once knew a gentleman whose name was Sasuke- Shiroi Sasuke. But he was a child abuser," the detective informed. He suddenly jerked open a drawer in the oaken desk, noisily rummaging through the neatly-arranged files and stacks of scrawled-on paper.
"Here," he offered, leaning over the desk and nudging the slumping boy's forehead with a new, cellophane-wrapped cherry Chupa Chup. "You like suckers, don't you?"
As inexperienced as L was with children, he seemed to know what they liked. Whenever he made one of his frequent strolls to the candy shops, in his guise of "Ryuga", he always had difficulty entering the shop on account of the swamps of children who were dragging their parents in, begging loudly for a peppermint or a package of lozenges. If children were the main consumers, that obviously meant that they were fond of sugary substances, just like L himself was.
The boy shyly took the sucker from L's hand, glancing up at the man through his long veil of raven-black bangs. He quickly drew back as soon as the candy was in his possession, but made no move to twist off the square of cellophane. He clenched the stick of the Chupa Chup tightly in his chubby fist, returning his gaze to the lint-riddled carpeted floor.
"Now, Sasuke-chan," Yagami Soichiro spoke up with authority, "Ryuzaki-san only wants to speak with you. You could save hundreds of lives, if you could tell him anything that you know. If it makes you feel more comfortable," Soichiro directed his next words to L, "the rest of us can leave."
L nodded, his own tangled, uncombed bangs falling into his listless-looking eyes. "If the rest of the team is fine with leaving, I would prefer to interrogate Sasuke-chan alone." Sasuke quickly turned his head to watch the men file out of the apartment, suddenly unsure of whether he wished them to stay or if he would rather have them out of sight. The action, of course, did not go unnoticed by L.
"Sasuke-chan? Have you ever eaten a lollipop before?" The odd question was asked as soon as Soichiro closed the door behind him, and it made Sasuke tilt his head in confusion- had he not been escorted to the apartment building to answer the mens' questions about the mass murder? And now, this tall, too-thin man with the cold round eyes was asking him if he had ever before tasted of a lollipop!
"Ano...but I don't like sugary stuff," he mumbled, shyly sliding his free hand behind his thick, silky curtain of bangs to rub the side of his head, in a gesture that L supposed his mother had used to soothe him. He still kept his gaze locked on the ground, the detective's eyes seeming icy and searching- he couldn't stare into such glassy, emotionless eyes.
"Ah- that's fine, then. Would you like some tea, or maybe some chips? If you're hungry, it's always best to talk after you satisfy your appetite," L explained, with such easy confidence that Sasuke didn't deny the fact.
L was busily stacking cubes of sugar into a pyramid shape, every so often raising his fingers to his mouth, flicking out his tongue to rid the pads of his fingers of the tiny grains of white sweetness. His tower consisted of nearly three dozen sugar cubes, and as he placed the last cube on the top of the structure, began to remove them, de-constructing his pyramid, dropping the sugar cube by cube into his mug of slowly-cooling coffee.
"Have you had your fill?" he asked, lifting his gaze to observe the boy. An empty tumbler, the walls of which still bore stray drops of green tea, and a china saucer specked by crumbs of onigiri were situated in front of Sasuke, emptied not too long ago. Sasuke was now carefully watching L fill his coffee mug with sugar cubes to the point of overflowing, the sugar rapidly dissolving, leaving the man's beverage a tan-colored sludge, which bore an interesting semblance to mud.
"Since you must be feeling better, I want to ask you something." L didn't realize that Sasuke's grimace was one of nervousness, and therefore decided to ignore it. Although he was a registered genius, as well as being the most well-known detective, the brunet was terrible at reading emotions. That vice had come from his years of remaining solitary, never having enough self-esteem to attempt forging a friendship, preferring to sit alone, solving cases behind one of his numerous fake names, using whichever one would benefit the most. But the point was that, having been alone for so long, L had never become accustomed enough to people to be able to read their emotions.
"I was wondering, Sasuke-chan, if you had any sibling relations," he asked, lifting his ceramic mug of coffee to his lips, wolfishly consuming the mountain of sugar as though there was someone behind him, ready to snatch the cup from his hands before he finished. Had he kept a spoon on hand, it would have been quite easy for him to eat the sugar-loaded coffee in that manner, since now it contained the thickness of a sorbet.
"Does that mean an aniki or an ane?" the child wondered, in case he was about to give a wrong answer- L nodded in conformation.
"Oh...um, I had an aniki," Sasuke murmured the Japanese word for 'brother.' "But he's gone- no one knows where he went. I don't either," he hastened to add, in case L was ready to prepare a long barrage of questions to stab at him, waiting for him to slip up and reveal information he had tried to conceal.
L was ninety-percent certain that he was being told the truth.
"How old was your brother?" The man ran his index finger over the rim of his mug, removing the last grains of undissolved sugar before popping the digit into his mouth, closing his eyes as he savored the sweetness that fanned over his tongue.
"Aniki was fourteen," Sasuke answered, fidgeting in his chair. He swung his short legs beneath the table, extremely eager to be out of the glow L's attention. He loathed being asked all those curious, prodding questions- all he wanted, at the moment, was to crawl back into his bed, pushing his head beneath the pillow to imagine his suffocation. He wanted to close his eyes, listening to nothing but the shallow sound of his own breath being drawn- he only desired to be alone. He wasn't anti-social- at times, he enjoyed companionship, but now, after suddenly becoming an orphan, lacking the support of a family, he needed time to be solitary.
People have different methods of dealing with sorrow. Some prefer to dwell on the cause of sorrow, and loneliness gives them time to grieve. Some people need to cry about the matter, as keeping the emotions inside would only result in a mangled ruin of their personality.
And others hate to cry. Others would much rather run with their friends, making themselves laugh, stirring up innocent mischief just to rid their mind of the problem. All they want is to succeed in forgetting, but they never really can erase permanently the sadness.
Sasuke was the obviously the one who needed time and space to remember his family. He could have never raced back to Konoha to grab his best friend's hand, dragging him off to play in the park- that would make him feel as though he was forgetting his family. It would cause a stinging guilt in his young mind, making him believe that he himself thought that his family was not important enough for their death to bring tears to his onyx eyes.
"Fourteen...and you said that you are eight years old? That seems to be a considerable age gap," L commented idly. He hugged his knees to his chest, curling his toes over the edge of the chair, gaining further balance in his ever-used crouching position.
"Yes, sir." Sasuke's answer was always that simple phrase, whenever he could think of absolutely nothing to say. His trembling fidgets become more difficult to ignore- why was L slowly warming up to the subject of the murders? Why was he slowly building up on the matter, like he had with his sugar cube pyramid, instead of blurting out the question that was burning everyone's mind-
What do you know?
Sasuke quickly looked down at his chubby, soft white fingers, which still gripped the long plastic stick of the Chupa Chup that L had given to him. On impulse, he carefully undid the red cellophane, wincing at the noisy crackling, and stuffed the round sucker into his mouth, a rich, tart cherry flavor washing over his tongue. The lollipop made a bulge in his already-fat cheek as he braved the blatant sugary taste, letting his mouth suffer the displeasure- but even through the sickening amount of sweetness, was a gentle sourness that he craved.
"I thought you didn't like sweets," L spoke up, before taking careful note of Sasuke's expression- the boy's appearance startled him, even though normally, he was very slow to fright. The raven's cheeks were flushed red, his eyes tightly closed as fat drops of moisture beaded in the corners, slipping to his eyelashes as they made ready to roll down his jaw.
Sasuke was crying, the sucker blocking any ragged sobs that were building up in his throat. The very reason why he had finally placed the lollipop in his mouth- to silence any sounds of sorrow he might make.
Whatever happens, don't let me make a sound.
A/N: It wasn't quite as disgustingly terrible as I thought. There will be some changes to the storylines, so it obviously will not be following either Naruto's or Death Note's plot. There will be no pairing except slight mentions of NaruXSasu.
Even though anyone who has watched Naruto knows who murdered the Uchiha clan, it's still fun to write. L doesn't know yet, so let him figure it out!
I discovered that it's very difficult to write the thoughts and actions of geniuses. I mean, how can anyone figure out what's going on in L's head? So, L may seem out of character, and I apologize.
Once again, this is my first crossover, so if you don't like it now, it probably won't get any better. *grins* But if you liked it, please continue reading! Updates will likely be slow, as I'm working on like, a dozen other fictions at the moment.

Victoria: Lamentations of Jeremiah (The Tallis Scholars)
12. Mär. 2010, 22:07 von kunishiListening The Tallis Scholars' new album, Victoria: Lamentations of Jeremiah. They make a beautiful performance with clear sonority, as before. However, the performance seems not to be the only one -- another good vocal ensemble could do the equivalently beautiful performance.
The Tallis Scholars may demote from the special vocal ensemble, with RIP of Tessa Bonner.
[My Gang] Thomas Tallis - Spem In Alium : Reco of the Week 26 Feb 08

My recommendation this week is my latest obsession - the 16th century choral piece Spem in alium, by Thomas Tallis.
I first heard it about a year and a half ago when my friend ljbates suggested it to me, asking what I thought. I remember on first listen, I felt it sounded restrained, held back, as if it were capable of much, much more but was being controlled, as an experienced jockey might a powerful racehorse. Turned out I wasn't too far from the truth.
There's a fantastic article here on the piece which, in my opinion, is much better than Wikipedia's, though all sources are worth a look for their individual nuggets of information.

Hilton Inks Management Deal for Five Hotels in Myanmar

YANGON, MYANMAR—Hilton Worldwide inked management agreements with Eden Group Co. Ltd. for five Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties in Myanmar.
Under the agreement with Eden Group, two of the Group's recently opened properties in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, and on Ngapali beach in Rakhine State will be rebranded as Hilton Nay Pyi Taw and Hilton Ngapali Beach Resort respectively, and are scheduled to welcome their first guests as Hiltons in October. Three other hotels will open in the next three years: Hilton Bagan and Hilton Inle Lake in 2016 and Hilton Mandalay in 2017.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

List of ALL
Ravindra K
Kapoor poems
Ravindra K Kapoor
This Poem is dedicated to all those who have lost their
lives in Orlando Carnage in the hands of hatred and violence.
How long the Guns
Would continue to excrete
Their stream of hatred and death
How long the innocents
Would continue to be the target
Of those
Who were born like humans
With the same sweet heart
Which beats and breaths
Similarly like a heart full of love
But now some of these have converted
Into nothing but the statue of stones
Which likes the sounds of killing
And hatred only. 01
From where this much of hatred
Has emerged
In such human minds and hearts
To convert it into a barren land only
Where grows the culture of hatred
Violence and death
On every branch of its thinking and deeds. 02
These very minds too
Were made by the same almighty God
Who gave us the gift of life and love
And of kindness and compassion for all
To spread love and peace
Benevolence and compassion
To sing the song of happiness and joy
Even when the darkness surrounds
They were taught to pray and sing
The Song of love and compassion for all. 03
Are we on the right track?
To give birth to such human minds
Where love has lost
Its ways and roots
To shape rightly the minds and hearts
So that these distracted souls
Have become heartless like stones
And try to seek peace of mind
In killing the innocents
Thinking that this the aim of their life
Or we need to ponder
On what actually went wrong
Which needs to change our ways and means
Which has given birth
To such unquenched hatred and
A life of death and killings and killings. 04
Do we need?
To call once again
Some Buddha and Jesus
Or we need
To change our upbringing?
By giving more love and care to our children
To bring back these lost souls
On the track of love and kindness
So that the world may live and flourish
In the harmony of peace and happiness. 05

- According to Goldman Sachs,, the average hedge fund had 68% of its long funds in their top 10 holdings heading into 2016 - that's the highest on record.
- The FANG names - Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Alphabet - represented a full 3.5% of total hedge fund stock holdings at year-end (up from 1.5% a year earlier). While Facebook has managed to stay flat in 2016, the other three are down sizable amounts.
- Still, the average hedge fund is down just 4% YTD - that's 200 basis points better than the S&P 500.

- To those who remember the risk on/risk off days of 2011 when the entire universe of assets seemingly moved together based on the utterings of some politician here or across the pond, today is quite a different matter. The instances of days in which more than 90% of S&P 500 stocks move together have all but vanished late last year and this year.
- The 65-day average correlation of stocks fell to 0.52% in January vs. an average of 0.63% between 2009 and 2013 (it rose as high as 0.84% late in 2011).
- Investors have responded by moving money into so-called actively managed strategies, with those funds seeing inflows of $1.3B this year on top of $9.8B in 2013. It's a small amount, but contrasts with $360B pulled out of such funds between 2009-2012.

Safe havens are offering little more than wealth protection (if that), and if you were thinking of dividend stocks, they may have a long way down to go yet. What about getting off the coaster? Over the past two months, S&P's Low Volatility Index lost just 1.1% vs. the overall market's 9.8% decline, and it's holding up over longer periods too (+80% over the past 10 years).

BTAL Description
"The Fund seeks performance results that correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses of the Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Anti-Beta Total Return Index. The target index, which is compiled by Dow Jones Indexes, is equal weighted, dollar neutral, sector neutral and is not levered. The index rebalances monthly by identifying the lowest beta stocks as long positions and highest beta stocks as short positions, of approximately equal dollar amounts, within each sector. The Exchange Traded Fund provides investors with the means of seeking the spread return between low and high beta stocks. Low beta stocks are those stocks that are less volatile than the market index, and high beta stocks are those stocks that are more volatile than the market index. Anti-beta investing entails investing in securities that have below-average betas and shorting securities that have above-average betas. The performance of the Fund will depend on the differences in the rates of return of these long positions and short positions."

Project Description
We're currently working on a SaaS. We're starting from scratch and with not a lot of knowledge and experience. However, we have a very clear idea of how our software looks like and we're doing tons of research on this topic.
We've decided to focus on the user experience design, and the front end in general. We're going to use jQuery, PHP, Ajax, HTML5, CSS3 for the front end, and a MySQL database.
Now, it's the back end what we want you to develop. This is a cloud-based service, so we need a very efficient application when it comes to bandwith usage. It needs to be responsive and accurate, as it will make predictions, suggestions, etc. This is an application for the business environment... with a twist. We want a relatively simple back end that can power some of the basic features of the application.

Editorial Reviews
"A detailed picture of the lives of Virgnia slaves and their interactions with their owners, each other, and the wider community." ―Asbury Park Press
"Thanks to Elizabeth Dowling Taylor's enterprise and craftsmanship in rescuing and reanimating this significant and remarkable, but nearly forgotten, American personality, A Slave in the White House is a gift to the early history of the republic and the long story of black and white interdependence." ―David Levering Lewis, author of District of Columbia: A Bicentennial History and a Pulitzer Prize winning biography of W.E.B. Du Bois
"[Paul Jennings's] remarkable life sheds new light on the central themes of American history during his lifetime and beyond. Taylor's sensitive reconstruction... yields fresh perspectives on... James and Dolley Madison... the African-American experience under slavery, the world of free blacks in Washington City during the late antebellum era, and the Civil War and its legacy. Scholars and general readers alike will not be able to put this remarkable book down." ―Drew McCoy, author of The Last of the Fathers
"Elizabeth Dowling Taylor has presented us with the gift of a new American hero. With precision and compassion, Taylor deftly brings Paul Jennings out of the shadows of history. Writer, property-owner, freedom fighter, husband, and father--Jennings's life reveals the complicated humanity behind the designation "slave." This story will humble and inspire all who believe in the American Dream." ―Catherine Allgor, Professor of History at the University of California at Riverside, UC Presidential Chair
"Taylor's careful reconstruction of the life of James Madison's slave valet reveals American history from a different angle. Rescuing George Washington's portrait from the British army, helping fellow slaves escape, earning his freedom from Dolley Madison with help from Daniel Webster, Paul Jennings led a life full of vivid episodes and famous personalities." ―Daniel Walker Howe, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848
"The life of Paul Jennings, a slave owned by US President James Madison and his wife, Dolly, throws fascinating light on both the struggles of a black man in 19th-century America and life in the early years of the young American republic." ―The Christian Science Monitor
"Who was Paul Jennings? And who was "JBR," who recorded Jennings' reminiscences, first published in 1863? How did the account get into print? And were there any Jennings descendants who could shed light on their ancestor? In "A Slave in the White House," Taylor answers those questions, and many more. ...Taylor's book brightly illuminates slave life at Montpelier and the very different, but connected, world of free blacks in Washington that Jennings joined upon gaining his freedom." ―The Free Lance-Star
"a history lesson many people don't know about" ―Greene County Record
"useful and informative" ―The Washington Post
"provides abundant insight, and cause for reflection into a time not so long ago when human beings were treated as property, even ones owned by presidents espousing the merits of liberty. ...an eyes-wide-open, extensively researched look at the politics of slavery, and the widely-held, deeply embedded belief among white America that black America was not its equal. ...frank, engaging and well-documented account of bondage in Washington, D.C. and the south at the nation's infancy." ―The Culpeper Star-Exponent
"imaginative and thorough research, careful supposition and heavy contextual description. ...Taylor reminds us of the moral failures of the Founding Fathers, especially their unwillingness to accept the notion that black people should enjoy the benefits of freedom so eloquently expressed in the nation's founding documents. ...This is an important story of human struggle, determination and triumph." ―Kirkus in Dallas Morning News
"You might think you know our nation's past, but this book may surprise you. If you're up for a great historical biography, in fact, "A Slave in the White House" will surely keep you in your seat." ―Houston Style Magazine
"she describes some of the subtle and not-so-subtle methods that white slaveholders, even including the libertarian Madison, used to dehumanize their "property." In Jennings' case they did not succeed, and now his struggle for a life of freedom speaks eloquently across the years." ―Seattle Times
"Even if you are not a lover of biographies and/or memoirs, please pick this one up. The author did an amazing job in researching this book with the help of Jennings descendants. It's a keeper." ―Seattle Post-Intelligencer (from Blogcritics)
"Taylor, who has a Ph.D. from Berkeley and for many years was a historian at the Montpelier estate, balances this portrait with a scrupulous unearthing of the plantation's less-than-noble reality...Taylor leavens this morbid tale with Paul Jennings's remarkable story." ―The Daily Beast
"What emerges is a portrait of a remarkably willful, ambitious, opportunistic, and in his own way well-connected American whose life came to embody what the Civil War historian Gabor Boritt has called the "right to rise." You could also call it the American dream." ―Fortune

Paul Jennings started working in the White House at the age of 10 and was the personal slave of James Madison, serving him well until Madison's death. At that time Jennings was married to a slave woman at a nearby plantation and had a few children but Dolly Madison kept him on instead of setting him free. It wasn't until years later, when Daniel Webster, who was a staunch abolitionist, purchased him from Dolly that he was able to attain his freedom. After his wife died he married again and eventually worked at a clerical government job.
This was a fine book and I learned a lot from it. I learned about the day-to-day lives of slaves, I learned about the failed attempt to smuggle 75 slaves out of Washington on a ship. I learned about the politics of the time and the War of 1812 and the abolitionist movement and the various compromises that were made as the nation expanded. History indeed came alive for me and I found myself entranced throughout. There are also several pictures of Paul Jennings himself and a genealogical record and photos of his heirs up to the present day.
This is a fine book, well written and easy to follow. Definitely recommended.
He was born at Montpelier, James and Dolley Madison's home in Virginia. His mother was Dolley's maid and Paul was mullato so he was raised in the house as Dolley's son's "boy." As Payne Todd's constant companion, Paul was present during his sessions with his tutor. Later, as Madison's valet and doorman, he was present during political discussions and long talks about running the agricultural affairs of Montpelier. No surprise, then that he learned to read and write, and that he was more sophisticated and gentlemanly than many slaves.
During the War of 1812, Paul was instrumental in saving the large portrait of George Washington as the British approached, intent on burning the White House. Master and Mistress both trusted Paul implicitly.
However, he remained a slave until Dolley Madison was in deep financial trouble living as a widow in Washington. He had met Daniel Webster, who was known to purchase the freedom of slaves and let them work off the purchase price in his household, perhaps one of the reasons Webster was always broke. By the time Webster bought his freedom, Paul was a middle-aged married man with children.
Because of Paul's position in life, author Elizabeth Dowling Taylor was forced to make too many assumptions about who he met, where he was at any specific time, what he may have overheard, and who his slave associates were. She does use any documentation she has found in her career as a curator and researcher, and there is more than usual for a slave, but still one tires of "he might have" and "probably.Read more ›
Paul Jennings was born a slave in 1799 on James Madison's plantation, Montpelier. The son of a house slave, Jennings learned to read and write from observing lessons given to the white children living at Montpelier. He was ten when James Madison became president, and Madison took Jennings with him to the White House as a footman. Perhaps the most dramatic episode for Jennings was when British Troops invaded Washington, and Jennings was one of several individuals who helped Dolley Madison escape the White House and save George Washington's famous portrait during the War of 1812. After two terms, Madison returned to Montpelier where Jennings served as Madison's personal valet for the last 16 years of Madison's life. He probably spent more time with the former president, except perhaps Madison's wife, Dolley. Daniel Webster bought Jennings' freedom in 1847 from Dolley Madison, and Jennings worked for Webster for two years to pay off the debt.
I think that Paul Jennings is an important man in the history of our Nation for many reasons. Jennings was an eyewitness to history for the 47 years that he was a slave. He was the first White House employee (slave or free) to publish his reminiscences about working in the president's house.Read more ›

This paper is an analysis of two models on the origin of coercivity in certain crystals. The first model, based upon the work of Kersten. suggested that coercivity in soft magnetic materials is due to the variation in domain wall energy throughout the crystal. The second model attributes coercivity to magnetostatic interactions between domain walls and crystal defects. Recent work on calcium and germanium substituted YIG has shown a defect structure similar to the one assumed in both of these models. Introducing the experimentally observed parameters into the models yields calculated values for the coercivity that are very close to the observed value for the magnetostatic model and very poor for the wall energy variation model.

Turns out he had nearly 15 times the amount of testosterone necessary to be considered legally doping.'Twas way back in 2008 when Chighizola decked Robert Johnson during a postgame handshake, in full view of both men's sons. Advertisement At the trial, the judge noted Chighizola's "huge muscular appearance" and ordered him tested. He tested positive for, among other things, a steroid used on livestock to make them fricking huge. The results were conducted by a California company, Redwood Toxicology Laboratory, and measured the balance between Chighizola's testosterone and epitestosterone. If the ratio of testosterone in a person's system is greater than six times the amount of epitestosterone, then it generally means that there are steroids in the person's system. In Chighizola's case, that ratio equaled 86, the records show. Chighizola was sentenced to 30 days in jail. It's a wonder he didn't rip the bars off his cell.

China to loosen one-child policy and abolish labour campsThe Guardian

Black Lives Matter Protesters Block Bridge During Child's Medical Emergency
China has pledged to loosen its one-child policy and end a controversial "re-education through labour" programme, state media reported on Friday, days after the conclusion of a meeting of top Communist party leaders in Beijing.
Under the new policy, couples in which one member is an only child will be allowed to have two children, according to China's state newswire Xinhua; currently, couples can only have two children if both members are only children themselves.
China will also end its controversial re-education through labour programme, a system of administrative, extralegal detentions which can send people to prison for four years without conviction. Activists and human rights groups have long criticised the system as giving authorities the power to detain critics and opponents without due process. Details of the two policy shifts and timelines for their implementation are still unclear.

Skip to comments.Obama: Boehners Lawsuit Against Me Is A Stunt
Posted on 06/27/2014 9:08:03 AM PDT by Citizen Zed
During an interview with ABCs Good Morning America on Friday, President Obama pushed back against House Speaker John Boehners (R-Ohio) announcement that he would file a lawsuit against him, saying that the move amounted to little more than a stunt.
The suit is a stunt what Ive told Speaker Boehner directly is: if youre really concerned about me taking too many executive actions, why dont you try and get something done through Congress?
Obama went on to slam the House Speaker for his inaction on immigration reform, saying that its outrageous that Boehner squawks every time he acts through executive orders because Boehner refuses to act on a bipartisan Senate bill that was passed last year.
Im not going to apologize for trying to do something while theyre doing nothing, Obama said.
(Excerpt) Read more at talkradionews.com ...
It most likely is a stunt.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that it IS just a stunt. If Boehner really meant it, he would have impeached Obama years ago.
It's just another Boner distraction, to pretend that he's doing his job.
Obama must have been reading FR. I swear, either the Dems are giving talking points to some posters here, or some faux FReepers are posting Dem talking points.
I don't know many FR posters I saw yesterday saying that this was just a "stunt." Bammy just has to read FR to know the best way to attack.
Let me agree with the Obamanation: Sure it's a stunt because the courts are so packed with liberals that nothing can come of it.
Point abundantly proved.
The court will determine that Boehner does not have standing and throw it out. So, yes, Obama is correct.
It's just another distraction to make the GOP-e's constituency feel like their politicians are doing something, when in fact they aren't.
What an arrogant jackass!
Harry Reid has stuffed his democrats in the Senate in the breach every time to stop anything that doesn't have the Obama stamp of approval on it.
Not one of these SOBs should have enough authority to run a playground.
Obama: Boehners Lawsuit Against Me Is A Stunt
I agree. If Boehner and the republican leadership were serious, they would start impeachment proceedings immediately.
He also did an interview with that Norah O'Donnell woman.
She was shaking her head up and down approvingly throughout the interview - it made me dizzy. I was waiting for her to ask Obama if she could kiss him.
I agree but...
Is it a "cunning stunt"?
2014 elections will not help. Neither will the 2016 elections (if we even have them....)
DON'T say that three times fast....
Serious question: how does this work, is it like passing 400 repeals of Obamacare? Does it need Senate approval? I would like to up know how a lawsuit like this works. Anyone?
"O's" Presidency is a stunt
Depends on the company around you...
Obama is a scumbag.
President Obama is the fulfillment of Stephen Fetchit.
Impeach the King would be the only answer. Even then if the House won the impeachment it would die in the Senate. But at least Bonehead would show he did try something worthwhile.
After the Republicans take the Senate in November, things are going to get very bad for the Big Zero. There there will be multiple special prosecutors, multiple sets of hearings on corruption of all kinds and public scandals as a lead up to the 2016 election season.
What is likely to be unearthed will force Democrats who want to run for President to denounce Obama and will force others to gasp and say we had no idea how evil he was.
The Big Zero is in for a real hard lame duck 2 years and it is going to get much worse for him. He is just trying to delay what is out there to minimize his pain and shame.
PSY OPS 101.. How about Congress call Obama out on his ORCHESTRATING THIS INVASION WITH THE GOV'T OF MEXICO. What about the child escort contract from the DHS in January of this year? What about the notes on what to say if caught that the immigrants are using?
Team Obama CAUSED this humanitarian crisis, so they can USE THESE CHILDREN AS POLITICAL PAWNS TO JUSTIFY AMNESTY. Do they give Nobel Peace prizes for that?
It's vapor-litigation, at least until we actually see something filed with the court.
It will be interesting to see what relief is asked for.
""because Boehner refuses to act on a bipartisan Senate bill that was passed last year.""
He forgot the number of bipartisan House bills passed that the Senate (REID) refuses to take up. Kind of lopsided of you, bozo!
MEMO TO WHITE HOUSE: It did not have to be come to this. You could have cooperated more and spoke more politely.
All three things are probably correct. Understand?
The Supreme Court case he just lost ROYALLY was a stunt, too. Right??
Obama declared Thursday that 99 percent of federal employees are not boneheads
Proving again that he's truly a 1 percenter...
I am surprised that the crybaby with the pink tie even went this far.
It actually is a stunt... if the President is violating the law IMPEACH him.
My opinion is that Boehner is doing nothing more than trying to pander to Tea Party voters by posing a faux legal attack against Obama. The old "Look, I am trying, so vote GOPe routine".
Hey, I finally found something I could agree with this lying Marxist scum.
obama said something... and IT'S THE TRUTH!!!
I guess there's a first time for everything, huh?
Obama finally told the truth.
If Boner had a set he would immediately begin impeaching obama appointees and judges. Let's begging Koskinen. That would be meaningful. Make the dems stand up for the IRS or vote to impeach.
I bet most of Obama's judges and appointees are confirmed unanimously
Everyday we get closer to his replacement
Probably. Massive disinformation. The Alinsky technique.
The charges should include treason.
Of course it is a stunt. A suit couldn't possibly be adjudicated in the time remaining in Obama's term. But maybe the mainstream media will talk about what Obama has done. This could be a way to keep Obama from doing more stupid stuff.
Hey! Obama finally said something true!
Anything that calls attention to what he's doing is not a worthless "stunt." The only thing that seems to attract any media attention now is legal action, since it's clear that Obama opponents (from the most conservative to the most liberal) can say what they want, and the media simply ignores it. But something concrete like a lawsuit might have more traction.
Civil suits don't get much attention, but if this suit is accepted, it will be the first time that anybody is granted standing to challenge Obama, so even if it doesn't get adjudicated, it will mean that the problem is acknowledged.
I honestly don't know what else could be done. The pitchforks and torches meme is cute and lets people vent and makes them feel good, but realistically speaking, that's another thing that's not going to happen.

Definición de American Independence, War of en inglés:
American Independence, War of
The war of 1775–83 in which the American colonists won independence from British rule. Called in the US and Canada the American Revolution.
The war was triggered by resentment of the economic policies of Britain, particularly the right of Parliament to tax the colonies, and by the exclusion of the colonists from participation in political decisions affecting their interests. Following disturbances such as the Boston Tea Party of 1773, fighting broke out in 1775; a year later the Declaration of Independence was signed. The Americans gained the support of France and Spain, and French sea power eventually played a crucial role in the decisive surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781
